Description

This is a woman who was 35-45 years old when she died. She stood about 5'3'' tall. Some of her back teeth had been lost and others had cavities. She once fractured a bone in her left wrist but it was long since healed. She had strong arms along with mild arthritis. She was identified as of African ancestry based on the shape of her bones but DNA analysis identified her maternal ancestry as Native American and possibly Micmac, a tribe in the Canadian maritimes.
